Ghost Shows Off “Majesty” With New ‘Meliora’ Track

Ghost’s new album, Meliora, will be out in just two weeks. Our newest preparatory song is “Majesty,” and out of the three songs we’ve heard so far, it may have the most retro sound yet. It starts like a classic Deep Purple track – think “Perfect Strangers” or Ronnie James Dio’s “Holy Diver” – with a chugging, Iron Maiden-esque energy. In spite of these early points of reference, “Majesty” may seem simple on first listen, especially if you compare it to something as grandiose as “Year Zero” from Infestissumam. But give “Majesty” a second spin and the true colors will come out. Papa Emeritus III leads an empowering sermon ready for a satanic cathedral, and it will surely stick in your head for weeks.

You can listen to the epic “Majesty” below. Also, take note of Papa Emeritus as King Kong in the song’s imaginative art:
